Comtois surprise bread
In this recipe, a simple burger bun is hollowed out to hide a filling of fried potatoes and bacon in a pool of hot cancoillotte cheese.
It is usual to eat the filling first, then the bread, still piping hot, with the remaining cheese.
Children really love this!

Leave to wait in the pan.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
Slice the tops off 4 Hamburger buns and use a fork to scoop out the interior crumb, which we will not be using this in this recipe.
Stage 6 - 7 min.
Sit the buns and their "lids" on a baking sheet. Pop in the oven for 5 minutes, just to lightly colour the insides.
Stage 7 - 5 min.
Meanwhile, pour 150 g cancoillotte into a small saucepan on low heat and heat through gently.
Stage 8 - 4 min.
Put a bun on each plate and fill with the potato and bacon mixture.
Stage 9 - 4 min.
Fill up with the hot cancoillotte.
Stage 10
Serve without delay, either as "surprise" bread with the lid on, or with the lid off at a jaunty angle, like in the photo.
Remarks
The inside of the burger buns removed in Step 5 isn't used in the recipe, but you can use it up in other ways, such as home-made breadcrumb coating.
For a more golden-brown finish to the buns, use a brush to coat the insides with clarified butter before they go in the oven.
Want to go the full Comtois? Use fried diced Morteau sausage instead of the bacon.
